hi

i have a my00 uk with a standard td04 fitted

can someone comfirm or not weather this turbo would be a straight swop

ebay item number 260249398551

and if the price is ok , or if i could get better for my money

cheers phil

 

You would needs mods to support it and the car to be rempped! Other than that its a straight swap

 

other mods being uprated fuel pump and the boost solinuid (sp)

???

 

Intercooler, fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs, boost hoses and 3 port boost solenoid and air filter and exhuast etc as I have no idea what you have fitted to your car

 

i have already had a remap by jgm
car running 260 bhp
with a sports cat and cone filter

was told a bigger turbo (i.e. vf34, vf35 , td05-20g)
3 port boost solenoid and upgraded fuel pump would just about to get me to 300bhp

is the price about right ??
or could i get better for that sort of money

cheers phil

 

up

 

anymore advise before it ends

 

Turbo seems genuine ( confirmed by phoning powerstation and asking them to confirm sale)

ecutek, walbro, decat, and 3 port should see you circa 340 bhp.

 

so does it seem about the right price ???

so i have had my standard ecu remapped already , so if i get this turbo added to my decat and walbro and 3 port what should i see in bhp

would my standard gearbox be ok for 340bhp??

 

Any changes what so ever and 99% of people would recommend a remap mate.

A std Wrx gearbox is good for 350BHP, although dont use me as an example as im still running my wrx box on over 400BHP (Oops!)

All depends on the box really and how its mapped. Mine is limited to 5.5K rpm in 1st so it doesnt rip it to shreads, and seems to be handling it ok, just means i cant launch the car very well and dont really bother to be on the safe side.
